The small Ambalal hernia indicate that the muscles around your novel have become weak because of years of bloating, pressure and slow digestion The aim now is to make your digestion, smooth, reduce gas and heaviness help liver clear fat, gently stabilise blood sugar through regular food timing and prevent the hernia from increasing Start your day with warm water.

Managing your health condition requires an integrated approach, where Ayurveda can be beneficial alongside your current medical regimen. To improve liver function, focus on a diet that balances your doshas. Kapha-pacifying foods are particularly beneficial for fatty liver. Incorporate bitter and astringent tastes through foods like leafy greens, turmeric, ginger, and garlic. Avoid processed foods, sugary snacks, and fried items, as these can aggravate the condition. Regular intake of warm water infused with lemon aids in detoxification.
For gut health, addressing your IBS is crucial. Incorporate small, easily digestible meals throughout the day to avoid straining your digestive system. Cooked vegetables, split mung beans (moong dal), and rice are gentle on the stomach. Avoid cold, raw foods, and carbonated drinks that can disrupt your gut flora. A pinch of hing (asafoetida) can be used in cooking to diminish bloating and gas.
In the case of umbilical hernia, it’s essential to avoid heavy lifting or any physical strain that could exacerbate the condition. Practicing pranayama, a gentle breating exercise like anulom-vilom, can promote relaxation and improve overall body function without putting pressure on the abdomen.
Consider herbal supplements like triphala, which supports both the liver and digestive system. However, always consult with a healthcare provider familiar with your medical history before introducing new supplements, especially with diabetes.
Lastly, integrate a daily routine that includes moderate exercise such as walking or light yoga, stress management techniques like meditation, and maintaining a consistent sleep pattern. This holistic approach supports both mental and physical well-being, promoting better overall health. Always prioritize safety and consult your physician for personalized medical advice.
